Hi, Crazyhorse712 -

Did you get your voice commands straightened out yet?

The 3.6.2 update address the following, banddirector -

• Information display on the homescreen for HD, Sirius (if equipped), and FM radio sources

• Simplified graphics and improved usability

• Enhanced voice destination entry for SD Card Navigation (if equipped)

• Improved Navigation vehicle positioning (if equipped)

• Rear view camera guidelines set to ON by default (if equipped)

• Updated SYNC/device compatibility information

Hey, thecause17 -

Send me details of your experience as well as the type of devices you have connected.

Give them a call Crazyhorse. They helped me out, maybe they can get you straightened out. Good luck.
I can help as well, shoot me a PM with the details and your VIN.

Update. I thought it would be a good idea to delete everything off my USB drive and reload the update. Not sure that was a good idea now the XML file is wrapped up in the zip files. I may just contact sync on Monday and try to report successful update that way.
Hi, 116Rob -

You can report a successful install by running a Vehicle Health Report:

I have an A4 card right now.

Hey, Clone -

The new card message only applies to those who never downloaded the performance update (3.0.2).

When a download is complete, you should have 21 files on your USB (556MB).

One called SyncMyRide with 19 files and 2 files outside listed as autoinstall.lst and DONTINDX.MSA.


If I missed anything or anyone has additional questions, please send me a private message.

I have the same issue, the Sync page shows my last successful upgrade as being done over a year ago. I ran the Vehicle Health Report and it shows on the right hand side I now have 3.6.2

The Sync page still only shows a successful upgrade last June, but does show a successful DOWNLOAD (not install) from last week when I did the upgrade myself. This is even after doing the Health Report.

I did the update a week ago, and the Downloads page says I'm up to date. But like others, it says "Your last update was confirmed on ..." with the original build date of May. Below that is a link to see Full Sync History. When that is opened it does show my latest update is confirmed from last week. Ford's site must have a bug that isn't showing confirmations on the first page.

The update they're talking about it only for the "My Ford Touch" system, not the lower end Sync systems. Do you have "My Ford Touch" ?

Yep. MFT and the latest update is Gen2-V3.6.2
I got it downloaded and installed easily. My point was that the Ford site does confirm it in the details of my account, but not on the first page of "my account/sync software" for some reason. On that page it lists the latest confirmation date as the original build back in May. But open the details of that and it also confirms my install from last week.

I got the update to work just fine, but It will not load the xln file to report the update on the website. Not sure why.
